Design of application-level reference models for micro energy grid in IT perspective

We design application-level reference models necessary to ensure interoperability between devices or applications operated in a micro energy grid environment, where we could realize efficient energy generation, consumption, and distribution by optimally utilizing different energy resources like gas, heat, as well as electricity. The designed models are based on the conceptual reference model presented in NIST standardization framework 1.0 which is the most popular framework for smart grid. Based on the framework, we also define major applications required for the micro energy grid, and design conceptual reference models used for each of the applications.
